Installing updated defs on a machine not currently connected to the internet?

[Nathan H]

Hi everyone.

Is there a way of installing updated definitions on a computer that isn't
connected to the internet at the moment?

i.e. a way of copying something onto a floppy disk/CD/USB pen and then
installing it on a target computer? like a manual definitions updater sort
of thing

Reason being as a SB, its sometimes annoying when you have to visit a
customer with a fast machine, but they aren't on broadband and the
definitions can take a while to download on dial-up so if there was a way of
doing it via a CD / USB pen, this would help things no end.

Any thoughts guys?

Cheers
Nath..

I think there is:
"Right click on MSAS icon within systray and choose shutdown.

Right click and "Save target as..."
http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcDeterminationData.gcd
http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcThreatAuditScanData.gcd
http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcThreatAuditThreatData.gcd

Copy/paste these files to Program files/Microsoft Antispyware
Restart MSAS and "check for updates"
Done until MS realize that this is a bug.............."

Those .gcd files should have latest definitions in them.
